Is there anything in that Times Kingspan headline which couldn’t have been written ten minutes after Paddy Jackson’s solicitor made a complete tool of himself?
It was never going to go any other way. They’re utterly bunched those lads. It’s the dole for them now. Unemployable. Unless daddy has gigs for them selling tractors or something. Their behaviour and shredded reputation will follow them globally. Proper order too.

I’d be fairly confident that a professional club somewhere will snatch up an international out half.
Time away from Ireland to repent and learn from his mistakes and who knows what can happen.
PlumBobSmearPants
Perhaps. The new pro rugby league in America perhaps. But I dunno. There’s nothing on this island for them.
Topsy
Thankfully.
SOQ
Why wasn’t this announced on Wednesday rather than letting it build up to a protest? It’s like they were testing to see if people would actually turn up.
One thing very obvious about this whole saga is how badly the public relations was handled. Complaining about social media is like complaining about the weather, complete nonsense. If they were any good at their jobs they would know how to deal with the internet.

+ 1 disgusting behaviour indeed should be publicly vilified and punished.

Long Sin Bin and then back as coaches. Coaching what I’m not sure.
It IS extraordinary that an acquitted person would lose their job. But the game does try to uphold a clean reputation, even when its members act otherwise.

And what about scouting Ireland and the sexual abuse
Where is the outrage?
SOQ
In defence of Kingspan; they are the least sexist of the sponsors. They don’t like the gays but they are a border region outfit after all. Progress of sorts I suppose.

Yes, Bank of Ireland, those well known women subjogators.
wtf are you talking about?

Lol. BOI do not have their name stuck on the grounds. Briege T rocks btw.

Interesting story about Cliff Richard and his interracial adventures.

Phil the Greek doesn’t look in the best fettle
Bernie
Agreed Custo, he’s looking way past his sell by date.
Formerly known as @ireland.com
He has had a good innings. I hope he makes it to the marriage of his daughter-in-law’s son’s wedding.
Bernie
I think Paddy Power has a good price on that, if you’d like a flutter…
PlumBobSmearPants
What? That he’ll make it the wedding or the results of the paternity test?! Heh heh.
Bull Duggan
The Duke is 96.
His age is higher than all your IQs put together.
Bernie
Bull, he’s really rocking it for a 96 year old Nazi, does that make you feel better, my precious?
Bull Duggan
Your IQ accounts for the six.
At least the others made double figures.
Muppet.

Sounding like a demented parrot now Bull, who’s a pretty boy?

Seems like Sky News neglected to vet the former head of the British Armed Forces before having him on.
An establishment figure going off script on Syria like that gets shut down quick sharp! https://twitter.com/EL4JC/status/984789066569998338
Aussie comedians were not allowed to cover the event. I wonder if they will try this time.

The best way to select a Grand National winner is to pick a random number, multiply by two, deduct 3 from that, add 21, divide by 3 and deduct 1 from the result. Put a 10 euro place bet on that numbered horse. Playing Bingo in the local parish hall brings more joy.
Andyourpointiswhatexactly?
Done. Horse #10 will win.
You can thank me later.

Alternatively, go play Bingo.

So it begins
Before the scientists arrive to analyse if a chemical attack happened the west launches an attack on Syria
This will now be the Cuban missile crises of modern times.
This time though there might not be a Russian who disobeyed an order that stopped WW3
petey
“Before the scientists arrive to analyse if a chemical attack happened”
also, we won’t know if uk, usa, and france dropped any bombs on syria last night until scientists artive to analyse.
david
Interesting one
A real baldrick one a cunning plan like the miraculous recovery of the military grade double spy
What if they find no proof but find the rebels the west supports did this chemical attack for propaganda?
SOQ
A Spanish woman was attacked on London tube for speaking Spanish to her friend by…. two black women. Speak English in England they shouted. I’ve seen it all now.
What’s the relevance of them being black?
Black people can be racist and / or English can’t they?
Genuine question….
SOQ
Yes they can, but that is usually against white people as a whole. This is English nationalism rather than racism and as daughters (or granddaughters) of immigrants themselves, has a certain irony to it.
I suspect this sort of thing is springing up because some of the eastern Europeans can be quite racist against blacks, so the English identity is used as a push back. It is still quite right wing mind.
Peter Dempsey
When we hear about racist attackers on foreigners, the racists are usually white. That’s why he mentioned it.
SOQ
It’s an odd one mind and shows the heights that xenophobia has reached in certain parts of England.
Either that or they were just a couple of pig ignorant cows who took something earlier then fancied a scrap.
Yes he bombed empty sheds after giving a weeks warning.
Nigel
The UN inspectors being on their way to inspect the place as the missiles hit was a nice touch.
david
WAS a lovely touch and if the inspectors find nothing and the Russians are right?
Why would anyone use chemical, weapons if they are winning especially in this day and age whenever little can escape scrutiny
Nigel
That’s not actually a difficult question to answer, you know. ‘Because they’re utter bastards’ would cover it more easily than a complicated international conspiracy which has even less of a comprehensible or rational strategic goal.
jusayinlike
Hanging off Trump’s tweets as per usual Nigel..

I think this is literally the first time I’ve quoted a Trump tweet jusayinlike but ok. Don’t worry I think Assad and Putin are gonna get through this.
